THIS I BELIEVE was a synbdicated 5 minute series hosted by Edward R. Murrow from 1951-1955. A good historical overview of the series is provided on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/This_I_Believe

NPR began airing a new version in 2005. but it is the original 1950s series that fascinates me. I've found and uploaded 14 episodes of the original series to Mediafire: http://www.mediafire.com/?sharekey=bea0fbcac2a85fdf8ab8b2f348899ad00519cf83485b279c

It is a series well worth listening to. I would appreciate having any additional episodes anyone might find.

I haven't checked out what you have available on mediafire, but I know NPR has a dozen or more clips from the 50's on their website. They are only clips of single individuals, but I thought I'd point it out just in case there is any material that you don't already have. I must say, you have some really interesting files. You keep giving me lots of good stuff to download while MM is down for the count!

Here is the NPR link if it helps:

Grimaud,

Thanks for the kind comments. I do have the 12 files from NPR's archives plus a couple of others. Hope to run across more.
